Great man. Came from a generation that "just got on with it". As he often said "you make do". He wasn't the soft type to run away to Hollywood and moan. Did his duty.
He lived the Gordonstoun motto "Plus etes en vous"
Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh
Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II's husband, has died aged 99. In a statement shortly after midday, it was announced "His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle." Our thoughts are with the Royal Family at this time. Thank you...

My second favourite royal after The Queen
99 is a wonderful age though, he had good innings ! I will miss his gaffes and quips. R.I.P 😔
He had a good innings...
...isn't that what our British friends say? I only know of him from TV dramas, but his generation seems much more grounded than the reality TV, supermarket tabloid royals of today...
Prince Philip was a patriotic no-nonsense guy . . .
. . . and I fear we'll never see his likes again. It's not just a matter of having sympathy for his family at this time . . . it's a sense of sadness that the world we grew up in is changing, and not for the better. Art
